Snow will fall in the eastern Tennessee mountains today through tonight. Snow totals generally between 1 to 2 inches, but locally higher amounts up to 4 inches are likely in the highest elevations and mountain peaks, such as Mt LeConte.
Colder air will continue to move into the region, changing rain showers to snow showers for the higher elevations of the East Tennessee and parts of southwest Virginia this afternoon into tonight. Accumulations are expected, mainly near or above 3,000 feet in elevation. Well-below normal temperatures are expected area-wide through the weekend, followed by a gradual warming trend.
